As someone who has done a lot of road trips with kids in car seats, I know this to be true: cars get messy. The end of a road trip is never exciting, but it’s even worse when you have to play “find that smell” and dig underneath the car seat. Remnants of fast food, snacks, and other horrors stain the seat of the car, and it’s just a general disaster to clean up.

The DaffaDoot car seat protector, however, is a life saver. It’s sturdier than others we've tried, with a bit of weight to it that makes installation easy. It wasn’t slipping and sliding as I was installing the protector or the actual seat, which can be the most frustrating part. It took me all of 30 seconds to place this car seat protector, and the spaces for the anchor system were easy to find and a perfect fit for my vehicle.

This car seat protector also extends beyond the bottom of my car seat, which is the whole point. The next time my child spills something, the protector will catch it, and it’s so much easier to clean than scrubbing the seats of my car.

One other perk that many other car seat protectors lack are the handy front pockets. I can store small snacks or toys, and they are what I would consider to be out of the “splash zone.” If you’re searching for an affordable and functional car seat protector, this is the one I would recommend. I also loved that it came with a free mini first-aid kit, because you never know what will happen on a road trip.

We all know the importance of having children in carseats and boosters, but without some kind of protection under their seat or booster, all those dropped cookies and Cheerios can make a serious mess. Plus, car seats and boosters have a nasty habit of digging and denting your fine upholstery and leaving a permanent mark on your backseat.

What you need is some high end protection.

Our latest release, the Deluxe Auto Seat Protector is exactly what you need. Other mats or pads can't compete with our 14mm padding and heavy duty durability. Our neoprene non-slip backing grips like no other, and our Universal Fit with an extended "lock-down" bulb ensures that no matter what you drive, it's perfect for you and your kids.

It's Full-Size, Premium Construction, with No Compromises. We've used only the strongest material and threads, and reinforced in ALL the right places. Many protectors provide only a sliver of extra fabric and claim to protect your seat, but we refuse to compromise on quality. It's evident from the first moment you take our protector out of its box. You will enjoy the premium feel, the superior stitching, and the quality fabric.

Did we mention that it's anti-slip and color-fast? We even baked it in an oven to make sure it could take the heat. And it has spacious elastic storage pockets where you can keep things like diapers, pacifiers, bottles, sippy cups, toys, wipes...and yes, a bag of extra Cheerios. Bottom line, it's perfect for you and perfect for your little one.
